g'day marsha,

 

 

transgenics or any gmo for that matter aren't the done thing here in aus' yet, don't know when the tide will get us but? i would suggest the corn story not to be true unless the government has completely pulled the wool over our eyes. latest story here is that monsanto (pharmacia) have over planted their gmo cotton (trialing i think) so they look like maybe getting fined and the crops will have to be ploughed in.

Subject: Corn in Australia-GMO´s

Dear Australian friends--

 

A young Australian woman just passed through here and said that  because of transgenics (GMO´s), there are no more local varieties of corn in Australia, all have been substituted or contaminated by GMO´s...

 

Is that true?  In Brazil we are still keeping GMO´s out, but it´s almost like trying to keep back the sea... I would be most grateful for feedback on the subject.. It would give us more ammunition, if you know what I mean...

 

Marsha
